It is the intent of the Board of Trustees in enacting this legislation
to protect the public safety and welfare of the Village residents
and people visiting the Village. Unauthorized access by the public
on Village jetties places our first responders and lifeguards at risk.
This section is designed to regulate the use of these jetties for
the protection of people enjoying the Village's waterfronts.
A. For purposes of this chapter, "jetties" means the man-made rock structures
that exist along the Causeway, in the Village Beach and at the terminus
of Southdown Road, and are also known as beach groins, or any other
similar structures designed to create beaches and prevent their erosion.
B. No person shall stand, traverse, walk or run upon the jetties at
any time. A violation of this Section shall be punishable by a fine
of not less than $100 nor more than $500.
C. Emergency personnel, authorized government and/or Village employees,
or authorized independent contractors, engaged in authorized services
related to the jetties, shall be exempt from violations of this section.
